Talbert House

Equity, Inclusion and Diversity

One of the ways Talbert House brings our Top Workplace culture to life is by maintaining a strong commitment to providing a safe, equitable, inclusive, and diverse workplace through affirmative action, equal opportunity, and non-discrimination policies.  These policies apply in all aspects of employment, including recruitment, hiring, promotions, transfers, discipline, terminations, wage and salary administration, benefits, and training.  All people of any race, ethnicity, country of origin, color, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, education, socio-economic status, religion, disability, or veteran status are invited and welcome to our agency.  In addition, we have zero tolerance for acts of racism, discrimination, or hatred of any kind against any group or individual and are dedicated to the elimination of inequity and injustice wherever we find it.

Our philosophy and long-term commitment has grown over time into our current, agency-wide strategy to build an equitable, inclusive, and diverse culture not only in policy but also in practice.  Led by our CEO and the entire senior executive team, the overall objectives and goals for our Equity, Inclusion and Diversity (EID) Strategy fall into four main categories:  Agency, Staff, Clients and Community.  These initiatives demonstrate our commitment to equity, inclusion and diversity in recruiting, hiring, staffing, training and development, pay, advancement, promotions, coaching and performance management, client services and recognition.

Talbert House was founded to help homeless men reenter the community. In August 1965, with a budget of $30,000 from private donations, the first halfway house program opened.

Today, Talbert House operates in multiple service areas in conjunction with its affiliates throughout Greater Cincinnati. The services are offered to a broad-based population with the agency's mission in mind: empowering children, adults and families to live healthy, safe and productive lives. Talbert House helps thousands of men, women and children throughout Southwest Ohio overcome adversity to become healthy and productive citizens.

Talbert House was named after Dr. Ernest Talbert (1879-1971), Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Cincinnati, for his support of community alternatives rather than institutional care.
